About
Hello, I am Kiv Bui. I am an artist, illustrator, concept director, and a product designer at Kiv Bui Studio based in Los Angeles. I also freelance for private clients and independent and start-up businesses on different creatives projects, such as personal art, editorial illustration, illustration for album and tracks covers. I also design commercial products such as merchandise, direct subscription boxes, and design packaging, and I make animated gifs and animated illustrations. My art subjects are inspired by my life story, philosophy, my interests in skeleton anatomy and the Baroque and Rococo art movements.

Many people struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc. Many also struggling with the apparent inequality around the world, such as racism, sexism, class struggles, etc. Therefore, I want to use my art to speak to those whose mental health is heavily affected as they fight for their struggles and rights. Using my creative language, I create an original conceptual world called The Lost Soul Kindom, which has its own therapeutic stories and aesthetic to provide people a place to escape to. Moreover, I also want my art to educate and spread awareness to people who are unempathetic toward these social issues, with the hope that it can move them.
